Synopsis

Tobias Whale is arrested following a robbery at a Stagg Industries warehouse, but he is not going to go down easily. After Whale's lawyer Milo Match demands that Lieutenant Gordon release Whale, Gordon's daughter Barbara is kidnapped. With no other options, and time running out, Gordon is forced to call Batman for help. While monitoring Whale's men, Batman learns that Barbara has been taken to "The Cauldron" (a former industrial park that became the most dangerous part of the city following the financial crisis years ago), which is populated by a gang of criminals called "the Ghosts." With Katana's help, Batman stages a raid on the Cauldron, but the Ghosts are not the big threat here, it is the man guarding Barbara: Whale's chief enforcer, Phosphorous Rex.

Production notes

A cool, new take on the classic Dark Knight franchise, Beware the Batman incorporates Batman's core characters with a rogues gallery of new villains not previously seen in animated form. Along with backup from ex-secret agent Alfred and lethal swordstress Katana, the Dark Knight faces the twisted machinations of Gotham City's criminal underworld led by the likes of Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, this action-packed detective thriller deftly redefines what we have come to know as a "Batman show." Featuring cutting-edge CGI visuals to match the intricate twists and turns of the narrative, Batman steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight for an entirely new generation of fans.
